Freeswitch and Janus for video conferences

[Adam Ben-Ayoun]

Hi guys,

We are currently using Freeswitch for our mobile apps as an MCU for WebRTC voice conferences with great success. We want to add video in a way that in any point in time either there is not video or there's video streaming from one participant to all the others, the current Freeswitch version does not fully support that. We are thinking about adding Janus to the solution so that it will handle the video part. Any thoughts on how we can achieve that?

Thanks!

Adam

I guess you mean video without the SIP constraint? Then the videoroom plugin is probably what you need: the demo shows how all participants can interact with each other, but you can choose which one is actually going to publish programmatically (e.g., screensharing demo, which uses the same plugin).

Is there a way to do this while talking SIP with Janus? (We are implementing this on a mobile app and we already using SIP)

[Lorenzo Miniero]

Janus doesn't talk SIP, sorry. The SIP plugin expects JSON messages, that are associated with SIP transactions on the SIP side.

Thanks Lorenzo. Sorry for the general question, but in case we want to use Janus for our app, is 0.0.9 version of Janus "production ready"?

Version numbers are not indicative of a consolidated branch, but are only there to clarify when we did a major change (in this case, the new websockets library). Since we update bugs often, I'd suggest you to stick to the latest github revision.
